Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 26,866,477, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 26,866,477 | |
| -1 | -26,866,477 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,866,477.
Example:
1 x 26,866,477 = 26,866,477
and
-1 x -26,866,477 = 26,866,477
Notice both answers equal 26,866,477
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,866,477 and divide it by 2:
26,866,477 ÷ 2 = 13,433,238.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,433,238.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 26,866,477 | |
| -1 | -26,866,477 |
Now, we try dividing 26,866,477 by 3:
26,866,477 ÷ 3 = 8,955,492.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,955,492.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 26,866,477 | |
| -1 | -26,866,477 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,866,477 ÷ 4 = 6,716,619.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,716,619.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 26,866,477 | |
| -1 | 26,866,477 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 37 | 121 | 187 | 353 | 407 | 629 | 2,057 | 3,883 | 4,477 | 6,001 | 6,919 | 13,061 | 42,713 | 66,011 | 76,109 | 143,671 | 222,037 | 726,121 | 1,580,381 | 2,442,407 | 26,866,477 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -37 | -121 | -187 | -353 | -407 | -629 | -2,057 | -3,883 | -4,477 | -6,001 | -6,919 | -13,061 | -42,713 | -66,011 | -76,109 | -143,671 | -222,037 | -726,121 | -1,580,381 | -2,442,407 | -26,866,477 |
